  2. Content • Overview of Pouching Validation at Bemis • Initiation Stage • Critical Quality Attributes • Development Stage • Critical Process Parameter • Qualification Stage • Closure/Hand over to Operations

  3. Overview • Validation Planning Phase • Inputs to the planning phase involve identifying business needs, defining project purpose and identifying project team members Validation Planning • Validation Testing Phase - IQ Installation • General installation checks. Equipment defined. Qualification (IQ) • Development Phase • Identify upper and lower limits for individual critical process parameters via ranging study. Data, where available, may be taken from existing process(es) as a Process starting point for these studies. Development (PD ) • Validation Testing Phase - OQ • Critical process parameters challenged to ensure sterile barrier systems will meet all defined requirements. Operational • Limited production runs at the upper and lower limits. Qualification (OQ) • Validation Testing Phase - PQ • Demonstrate consistency at the nominal set points. incorporate anticipated challenges to the process. At least three production runs of sufficient Performance length to account for process variables. Introduce Shift variation , material variation etc. Qualification (PQ) • Validation Testing Phase – Validation Summary Report Validation • This shall consist of a formal review and approval of the IQ, OQ and PQ as appropriate. Summary Report(VSR) • Operation and Maintenance Phase – Project Closure & handover to Operations • Operation and Maintenance - day to day operations. Ensure adherence to operational SOP's including SOP QA07-17 Documentation Change Operation and Notice (change control) Maintenance 3 6/20/2017 B EMIS H EALTHCARE P ACKAGING

Core & Extended Team Members Four Stages Initiation stage Development QA R&D Qualification Closure Manufacturing Product Project Engineer Leader Validations Materials Sales • Internal Development Procedure • Systematic Process • Cross Functional Team • Definitive Milestones 4 • Escalation Process

  5. Initiation Phase • Identify customer requirements • Customer Specification • Critical Quality Attributes • Customer Timelines • Review customer specific requirements – Customer Specific Protocol • Develop Project Charter – scope, objectives, participants • Develop product schedule and costings • Identify equipment and assess equipment capability

  6. Critical Quality Attributes • Critical Quality Attributes are defined on a case by case basis for each product, based on – review of the customers product specification – validation protocol, – Bemis standard in process tests. • Define acceptance criteria • Define Test Method • Verify Test Method Validation / MSA

  7. Critical Quality Attributes Typical Tests for Critical to Quality Features Purpose Type of Data Test Name Tensiles To test the tensile strength of the seals. Variable The two materials are peeled apart and the seal transfer Attribute Teardowns is visually inspected to ensure a consistent coating transfer. Dye placed in contact with seals to ensure no Dye Attribute penetration and thereby verifying the integrity of the Penetration seal. Burst To test the burst strength of the seals. Variable To ensure bag is dimensionally within specification. Variable Dimensions Visual To ensure all visual acceptance criteria are met. Attribute

  8. Development Stage • Manufacturing process and equipment further defined – If required, new equipment, tooling or machine modifications sourced and ordered • Initiate qualification of materials (if using new materials) • Review process FMEA and update if required • Identification and understanding of Critical Process Parameters . • Develop P2 Prototypes – Built by R&D/Engineering – Parameter development initiated – high level understanding gained • For standard material/pouch configurations, P2 runs may not be required. In lieu, a review of parameters, test results and capabilities from previous orders may be performed.

  9. Critical Process Parameters • Typical Critical Process parameters for Pouch Sealing Process: • Temperature • Pressure • Dwell Time • Other parameters which may be varied during the P2/P3 stages prior to establishing the process include the following. Once established, these remain fixed during the OQ and PQ: • Surface area of die • Shore hardness of mat • Thickness of Mat • Teflon • Cooling / Air blast • Closing Time

  10. Qualification Stage • Develop P3 prototypes – Built by R&D/Engineering – Parameter ranging study undertaken • Develop material qualification report (for new materials) • Customer sample review and obtain feedback if required. • Assess SOPs and update if required. • Update specifications if required. • Review Process FMEA and update if required.

  11. Qualification Stage • Develop & Execute IQ/OQ/PQ Validation Protocols. – IQ: process of obtaining and documenting evidence that equipment has been provided and installed in accordance with its specification. – OQ: process of obtaining and documenting evidence that equipment operates within predetermined limits when used in accordance with its operational procedures. – PQ: process of obtaining and documenting evidence that equipment, as installed and operated with operational procedures, consistently performs in accordance with predetermined criteria and thereby yields product meeting its specification.

  12. Installation Qualification IQ ensures • that all equipment has been installed correctly, • all required calibrations have been performed, • all safety measures have been implemented and • the equipment has been entered into the Preventative Maintenance and Calibration system.

  13. Installation Qualification • In general, standard pouches will be produced on existing equipment. If this is the case, a full IQ is not required. • The previous equipment qualification will be referenced in the report. • Certain IQ checks such as verification of the documentation and calibration status of all relevant instrumentation will still be performed. • Verification of the following Associated Documentation: – Previous IQ protocols/reports for the equipment • P1 Report • P2 Report • P3 Report • MSA for test methods.

  14. Operational Qualification • OQ: Process Parameters challenged. Produce samples at both the upper and lower parameter limits. • The outcome of the OQ section is to verify – Lower and Upper process parameter setting limits – Nominal process parameter set points to be carried over into PQ.

  15. Operational Qualification • The key process parameters, test methods & reference procedures, required for the validation, are identified in the validation protocol. • The following are reviewed under OQ: – Components/Ancillary Equipment required for Qualification – Security Verification – Loss of Power – Alarms / Interlocks / Emergency Stops – Function Verification - Operator Interface Testing – Critical Requirements Test – Critical Quality Attributes – Critical Requirements Test – Critical Process Parameters • If the validation is being performed on existing equipment, certain OQ checks are not required.

  16. Performance Qualification • PQ: demonstrate that the process will consistently produce acceptable product under specified operating conditions. • Challenges to the process shall include conditions expected to be encountered during manufacture. • At least 3 production runs with adequate sampling to demonstrate variability within a run and reproducibility between different runs.

  17. Performance Qualification • Run size/sampling is specified in the protocol, based on the nature of the process under validation. • PQ run should account for process variables, including, but not limited to: – Machine equilibrium, – Breaks – Shift changes / Operator variation – Normal starts and stops – Material lot to lot variation • Critical Process Parameters are monitored and recorded during the PQ runs

  18. Acceptance Criteria • The validation protocol must outline the criteria, by which the validation will be deemed a success. These criteria are reviewed against the outcomes of the IQ, OQ & PQ. • A deviation is raised if a test fails to meet acceptance criteria and /or departs from the study plan as approved in the protocol. Deviation forms are included in both the IQ/OQ and PQ protocol templates. • All deviations must be described and resolved prior to the approval of the validation summary report.

  19. Qualification Stage • Validation Summary Report (VSR) – Formal Approval of the Validation – Prepared on completion of the validation execution. – The VSR documents all key steps referenced in the Qualification Protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ) – Summary of all protocols and results, and conclusions.
